Rely on
us with
confidence
A global partner
As a global partner and innovator working in close collaboration
with all major wind energy equipment manufacturers for more
than 20 years, we provide our customers with reliable, durable
and cost effective solutions for wind blade production. To capture
the maximum amount of energy from the wind, blades have to
be large, stiff and sufficiently robust to withstand every kind of
weather condition. Huntsman Advanced Materials has the right
technologies and high-performance products that the industry
requires. Our products are used in applications ranging from plugs
and patterns, to complete composite blade production as well as
assembly and repair.
We deliver more than just products
Our know-how and expertise help us to develop standard
products as well as custom-made solutions formulated to answer
specific project requirements. Huntsman Advanced Materials has
a worldwide team of experts to develop composites and tooling
materials as well as adhesives:
> to quickly bring your product to market through rapid model
build-up and repair
> to reduce manufacturing and production costs through process
time reduction
The original brands
serving worldwide wind industry
for more than a decade.
> to improve product quality, stability and durability through
physical properties like impact resistance and corrosion.
